Having had an experience yesterday where I feelings of being invisible were re awakened, I came to the realisation that it has been an occuring theme in my life, when I've been left feeling unimportant, without a voice, disempowered basically invisible. This could be a new thread for my work. How would I transfer that feeling into a visual medium? When I googled the word, it also came up alongside prejudice.
So a bit of online research:-in⋅vis⋅i⋅ble

Randomly, I also found this, which felt slightly relevant!
